We're looking at the first top-tier market adoption of a home automation system, albeit it amongst two, soon to be three, products and the opening salvo that'll really stir the pot with other players (Honeywell, Apple, et al.) and open wide the automation market for maturation.
I worked developing interfaces for bespoke home automation systems with a small company out of Georgia in the early 2000s (Listman, if anyone's even familiar with them; they were a blip on the radar later bought by Leviton but quite advanced for their day) but all of these were closed-circuit systems with a then-innovative iPaq to control their environment from afar.
How far the industry's finally become since those days with this announcement; actual platforms are finally here.
